I noticed this wrap you up feeling the first time I hung my ENO DN. Kind of made me think of adding a couple velcro dots to the outside so I could wrap myself during bug season and not bother with the bug net.

I wanted to try it out my first hang as a seat, but my kids where all over it and I never got too.
Heck, my first time sitting on it lasted all of 5 seconds before I ended up with 2 monsters in with me.
I had to disconnect the rigging to get my oldest out (3yrs old). He'll be hanging with me this summer on some of our backpacking trips.

I don't own an ENO, but it never hurts to try. What you might wan to do before sewing it is use a penny to make a place you can temporarily tie something to so if you don't like t that way you can change it back. Just my two cents.

I like the idea, but I'd be concerned about using a penny, or anything disk-shaped; I'd be concerned about the stress on the fabric. How about a river pebble, a marble or, one of those little super-bouncy balls? Or even a monkey fist, which could be made from some of that paracord you carry.

Actually, if you stuck to the monkey fist method, you wouldn't have to sew anything at all; you could adjust it for different scenarios, and you wouldn't have to bring anything extra, just use what you'd normally bring.
